I think the issue is that the marketing is a half truth. Standard is in fact majority owned by content creators, it's just that the marketing makes you assume that the creator saying the line is the owner when that might not be exactly the case.
Honestly Nebula always felt off to me because of this marketing. They never sold it as a place where creators had a more equitable share, or where they had more creative freedom and control (which seem to be true), but they used the idea that they were "fighting the man" by going at it alone. It always felt like a half truth which, turns out, it is.
Also the price always felt too good to be true to me so I always suspected some sort of investment from somewhere to create a loss leader. Though the jury's still out on that. But having worked on video streaming online myself I know first hand how expensive it can get so I wonder how profitable the company is.
